Evening all,
I just did up a Belgium Caramel Wit(BB kits). This is my first wit, and not sure I have ever drank one.
My question here is this....this brew came out with a great color, ABV, and perfect carbonation. It fermented in primary for about 5 days...then 2ndaryijust to let more sediment settle) for about 2 days....and is now 1 week into its bottling cycle. Gave it a taste test, and there is an odd flavor, and I can't quite put my finger on it. The best description I can give, is its almost like a very subtle rotten fruit taste.....like aged apples....not sure if that makes sense. I can smell it in the beer, and can taste a bit after it goes down. However, the beer has a fantastic "beer" flavor to it.
Do I just need to let it sit longer in bottle to mature?
Is this just how Wits taste?
Any advice would be helpful, and I will do my best to answer any questions that may lead to a solution.
:: happy friday everyone, and than you in advance for your time!
